Not quite there yet, but I'm working on it.<br /><br />School supplies!! Crazy (fun, but crazy)!! Don't ask me how much money I spent yesterday on school supplies x 2 for kindergarten (and that was with a $20 coupon). We had to get hand sanitizer, too, but the thing that got me was the crayons. They each had to buy two boxes of eight and one box of 24. When I was kid, I had *one* ordinary box of crayons. We had to get two boxes of markers (each) too. I looked at the first grade list and it's very similar....<br /><br />Our first day is Aug. 16. What about you guys?Terzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617301871875902162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-50847261609829270652012-08-03T20:43:53.576-06:002012-08-03T20:43:53.576-06:00That kitty is super tiny!

Our school stopped providing the once a month box of sandpaper, er, tissues about 5 years ago. It's been me providing them when I remember or, more likely, a kid or three bringing them in when I forget for a couple days and tell them to use the paper towels that don't suck up water but push it. We don't provide crayons, pencils, erasers, markers, colored pencils, glue, scissors, etc any more either. Sad, but true of pretty much all schools.
